Reviews for Hopper (#2347)

Review by dandyboy on 31 Aug 2012 (Rating: 4)

Possibly , the best frogger I have ever played , and certainly , the most charming one . mainly for its cool touches : the ambulance sequence , the different sinthonies , the small graphics , the different ways to die ,,, etc.

A frogger with a difference , and with a touch of distinction .

This another Frogger clone but a good challenging one. It plays faster than most clones and it as a few different features, like the train. I like the way traffic moves away to let the ambulance pass each time Hopper gets killed. Where does it take it, to the frog Hospital?

It's a Frogger clone and I've reviewed a few of these in my time so how can I not look at this one? It's quite nice and it plays a lot better than some of the other Frogger clones I've played, but I found the up key to be quite unresponsive, whether it's the up cursor key or the O key, it's unresponsive at times and it's annoying and spoils the game. The frog does move slowly across the screen which makes planning your path to the left homes a chore but I will take this over beepy flicky movement any day. It's a challenging game even with ten lives and after finally finishing the first screen it said “That was obviously too easy” oh fuck off it took me six bloody attempts to complete it! Also why does it play Rule Brittania when the frog drowns? That's like the least expecting tune you can possibly think of for drowning, or death for that matter. I think Frog Run from Anirog is a better clone but this is still one of the better clones on the Spectrum and a treat for Frogger fans.
